Jennifer Lawrence Isn't Afraid To Talk About Poop

Jennifer Lawrence's outfit for her The Late Show with David Letterman appearance last night was an odd choice. Not because she doesn't love a good crop top—she does, clearly—but because she's been feeling "gassy" lately. Really, really gassy—enough to even require hospitalization right before Lawrence's New York Hunger Games premiere.

"I thought I had an ulcer, but it turns out it was a 'fulcer,'" she told Letterman last night. Then she slid into more graphic detail, adding "You can only sh-t your pants so many times a day before you go to the emergency room, before you're like 'I need to go to the hospital." Well, alright then.

Even by Lawrence's standards, it was some next level candor—and we loved it. Of course, we feel bad that she was sick, but we do love the "silver lining" (sorry, had to): Finally, a girl (and an A-list actress no less) who's not afraid to talk about poop. On national TV.

Because here's the thing: Most men would like to believe that girls either don't poop at all or just drop delicate petals into the toilet. Just look at Letterman's speechless reaction to Lawrence's admission—and he's been listening to stars say crazy things for the past 33 years.

So we're sorry to break it to you Dave, but to quote a beloved children's book, everybody poops. Even women. There's a reason Jamie Lee Curtis has been shilling Activia all these years. We take dumps just like everyone else, and we like to take them regularly. But Curtis is never going to come out and say, "Ladies, you'll love this yogurt because it helps you take great poops!" Luckily, we have Lawrence. Activia, I think you've found your next spokesperson.
